EMR Implementation Strategies with Dr. Eric Lee - Part 2 Dec 19, 2019

Show notes

Part 2 of 3 with Dr. Eric Lee. We continue our discussion of EMR implementations including the build phase with all of its inherent challenges. Do you stick as close to the "out of the box" version as possible or customize the tool to bend to your workflows? Do you take all of their clinical decision support tools as is or pick and choose just a few. Those questions and more on this episode of CMIO Podcast.

CMIO News to Know for the Week of Dec 16th Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

This week I cover 5 articles. The first is about a Florida medical group that got fined y the OCR for not releasing records to a patient. Watch for this; the government is ramping up legal action against providers that are information blocking. The second article is about real time location tracking apps to help locate you patient transport teams and find the bottlenecks in your system. Very cool tech and it sounds incredibly simple to roll out. The third article is a review of how EHRs are still a pain in the butt, but getting better. The fourth is about remote patient monitoring for lung transplant patients, which I think is a phenomenal use case. Finally, I review an article about population health analytic tools. A challenging space to be in and there are lots of difficulties with executing this analytic project well.

CMIO News to Know for the Week of December 9th Dec 10, 2019

Show notes

This week I cover a story on the patient safety risks of the EHR, the difficulty of getting adoption for value based payments, a study on visual aids cutting duplicate orders without the need for invasive alerts, the benefits of e-prescribing, and a tool to help with CDS for PAMA. As always, I view things from the perspective of a CMIO.

How to Handle the Angry Physician Dec 07, 2019

Show notes

What do you do when a physician is throwing a fit over the latest upgrade? How do you handle the passive aggressive doc that runs to the CEO to say how bad everything is with the EMR? Listen to the conversation with Dr. Dale Gold and Dr. Adam Carewe from Kaiser Colorado as they describe their strategies for when our colleagues get out of line.

CMIO News to Know for the Week of December 2nd Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

This week I cover an article about chatbots, GE entering the AI healthcare space (a bit late if you ask me), a health system suing Leapfrog, and a health system taken down by ransomware. There is an article that asks where you should look to find your digital transformation leader and I wonder where a health system could find someone with technology knowledge and clinical acumen to help guide them. Hmmm, if only there were such people already in the health system that could be encouraged to help in this space (there is some sarcasm here for those missing my point). Finally, I end with a few ICD-10 codes that apply to Thanksgiving and hoping you do not have any of them sitting in your emergency department.

This week Google and Ascension have been in the news. I cover what their doctors are saying they are doing and it sounds like they can seriously help healthcare. Also in the news this week is a serious ransomware attack on a post acute EMR system with a big price tag. Humana is growing its Medicare Advantage program and if you want to know why, check out the video from Dr. Eric Bricker from the link on the CMIOPodcast.com blog page.

CMIO News to Know for the Week of Nov 18th Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Interesting article from HISTalk that shows a CMIO earning 770K while the CIO is at 500k (you don't see that every day); the article is actually about the new hospital at Stanford. AMA study Shows the EHR causes Burnout (but is not a definitive study in my opinion). How to Design an EHR Usability Assessment. Post Acute IT spend is dismal and interface with acute facilities is limited; impacts pop health. Penn Medicine covers how they look at integrating technology after an acquisition. This and more on this episode of CMIO News to Know.
